DRAMA · x402

A decentralized script-doctoring engine where every revision, critique, and 'yes-and' is a metered micro-transaction. Pay 0.01 USDC to push a scene edit or unlock a peer's notes. Writers earn instantly as their contributions are accepted or read, turning the rehearsal room into a high-velocity, pay-per-line creative market. Final scripts are exported as authenticated, contribution-provenance PDFs once all micro-fees settle on Hedera.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the script collaboration engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so directors — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveScript writing is plagued by unpaid labor and opaque contribution credits. x402 weaponizes the 'revision' as a unit of value. By making edits cost $0.01, it discourages noise while rewarding quality contributors in real-time, replacing vague 'creative credit' with instant USDC settlement.

playwright collaboration
DraftFlow · x402
Pay-per-contribution script evolution. Every time a playwright pushes a new scene, dialogue tweak, or stage direction, the production pays a $0.01 micro-royalty. This turns the script into a living, metered asset where writers are paid for the act of creation in real-time. Producers unlock specific drafts or 'forks' of a play for rehearsal by paying a settled $0.01 fee per actor access, ensuring the creative sweat equity is instantly monetized and timestamped on-chain.
casting marketplace
StageRead · x402
A high-frequency talent scout protocol where every audition tape submission and casting call 'side' download is a micro-settlement. Directors pay $0.01 to unlock a performer's reel, and actors pay $0.01 to commit their encrypted audition data to the chain. This replaces monthly subscription models with a 'pay-per-opportunity' architecture, preventing platform bloat and ensuring only high-intent interactions between talent and production.
lighting rights management
LumenSync · x402
A protocol for lighting designers to meter the 'burn' of their intellectual property. Lighting consoles ping the x402 endpoint to unlock specific DMX map frames or complex Chamsys/MA3 sequence macros. Venues pay 0.01 USDC per cue-trigger or per-minute of 'look' duration, ensuring designers are compensated for every performance without complex manual auditing.
